Devotion 6/12, The Return of the Lord
Our homeland is in heaven, where our Savior the Lord Jesus Christ is; and we are looking forward to his return . . .Philippians 3:20
There is coming a day that will be called the Day of the Lord. In the midst of hopelessness, there is hope! And that hope is centered in the Lord Jesus Christ. Now the will of man runs riot in the earth. Then the will of the Lord will alone be done. Until that time, we are under orders from the King of kings to proclaim His message. When we engage in evangelism, we are obeying His great command to “go and proclaim.” In doing so, we are hastening the day of His return.
His promises “always” come true. So maybe I, a sinner, should make sure I am “returning to God” all day long in preparation of His return, both in His Word and on my knees in prayer.
As I live in the hope of Your return, Lord, give me the wisdom and love to reach those around me through Your Word and the Holy Spirit. I seek to glorify and praise you in all I do this day. In Your name I pray, Amen.
